Bonus Wars! π€£ Is it muscle or water weight?
Published 3 months agoΒ β’Β 26 min read
Hi Reader,
The last two days have been a bit of a blur. β In typical Late Lara fashion, I was working on my course until the bundle went live and since then, I had so many issues with tech I've been focusing most of my time just trying to get things to work, much less my content. β I'm still trying to get a handle on Thrivecart so the learning curve (and the mistakes therein) has been a humbling experience to say the least. NGL. Growing pains are HARD. For anyone who has checked out the course and hasn't turned on their heel and did an about face, thanks for your support. β I'm tweaking things up as I go and will also be adding more lessons. β Even though I've been sidelined by the continued shockwaves of horror at some really embarrassing mistakes, I was also buoyed by acts of kindness and thoughtful gestures. β A lovely customer who reached out to tell me that she set one of my collections as her wallpaper which brings her joy every time she picks up her iPad. π₯° β And my dear friend, Sue Fleckenstein from Createful Journals who picked up my course through BC Stack and then wrote such a wonderful message in her newsletter explaining why. Screenshot below.
β
I didn't even know she had done it, and I don't think I would have, had it not been for one of my PLR buddies writing to let me know. Being gracious and generous is just the type of person Sue is. I feel warm and fuzzy and full of gratitude for my lovely friends and readers. Truly. π₯°
THE BONUS WAR CONTINUES π€£ β βBC Stack 10, is heading into the halfway point and if you've been living under a rock, you might not have heard about the bundle of the year which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary. Normally there are 65 contributors but for their decade celebration, it's over 80 which is truly insane. β I made a mistake in my previous email mentioning that if you signed up as an affiliate and even made one sale, you'd have the chance to win prizes. Turns out, that was in the past and it's ten now but today only they're holding a special draw for $200 to anyone who makes even one sale.β β That's an easy accomplishment considering the value of this bundle. Tell a friend, your sister, a colleague. You'll get entered. And I will qualify too if you decide on purchasing the bundle today. β Did I mention I have an extra today only bonus? Read more on that below. β I think one of the major draws of this bundle isn't just the sprawling amount of content, but watching the madness of BC Stack's Epic Bonus WarZ unfold with affiliates jockeying for those top spots. It's amusing, and in some cases, a little much, don't you find? β If you've been considering buying, are you enjoying the Carnie vibe? π€‘ β I did write to Dan about smaller affiliates not being able to stack up to the heavy hitters. I thought his lightning-fast response was worth sharing: β βYou can compete for sure. Bigger is not always better. Instead, add value. Give advice. Be the voice they need. β βYou may not think you can compete, but there are people who NEED you. I'm living proof of that. :) ββ βAlthough most are watching and waiting and deciding on where to invest, some may be swayed by bonuses that look pretty juicy since they appear so hefty. But there's real muscle and then there's water weight.
Consider your choices and figure out which category they fall into. β Is it something you'll use?
Is it something you NEED?
Do you already have similar things?
Does anyone truly need an extra set of "full funnel" coloring packs if you already have a bunch sitting around that you've done nothing with? β Same for trainings you won't watch or live sessions on a niche you're not ready to jump into yet. β And those gift certificates worth hundreds of dollars? Is there anything you've been dying to purchase from that business owner that you'll finally be able to get your hands on? If you can't think of one or two things, you have your answer. π β And if you see coaching sessions from vendors you haven't worked with yet and aren't 100% sure about, I'd caution on jumping on those too. β Some of these crazy bonuses are crazy indeed in the sense that it would be crazy to buy based on quantity over quality. Choose wisely! And if you're struggling with your decision, drop me a line and I'll help you choose. I've done plenty of bonus shopping in my day and some of the vendors I promote I guarantee still have trauma over the amount of times I emailed them asking questions about various offers ad nauseum. π€£ β It's funny that I probably don't even need to mention what's in the bundle, but for BC Stack 10, the contents this year are focused on providing the tools, tactics, and strategies you need to turn your side hustle into a full-time income. There's so many cool products on:
Creating Art with A.I. (that's me!) plus there are other AI courses.
YouTube
LinkedIn
Substack (This one I'm def. interested in as I dipped my toe in the waters last summer.)
SEO (and recovering from algorithm updates)
Facebook and Facebook Ads
Instagram
Selling digital products
Flipboard
TikTok
Pinterest
Affiliates / joint ventures
Podcasting
Books
Summits
Quora
Etsy
Email marketing
and more
As mentioned, my contribution is my long awaited, brand new course, Create Art with A.I., which I unveiled in this year's BC Stack (which nearly killed me.) π€£ β If you've been interested in how I create many of the collections you've seen unveiled over the last year and a half, this is your chance to peel back the curtain and learn what FREE platform I'm using to get the results you see in the above mockup, along with the tips and tricks I utilize to get some pretty impressive results. And I'm all too aware that there are tons of A.I. Art courses out there. ββ So what makes my course different? β β For me personally, I wasn't interested in paying the $30 a month price tag for Midjourney and bro-ing out on Discord which I cannot for the life of me, wrap my head around. The images you can make in MJ are truly astounding but they do have that "Midjourney look." β And no tea, no shade: if you love Midjourney and are a huge fan, I strongly feel you should stick with what you're using and you will have absolutely zero need for my course. β My course is for the curious-minded dabbler interested in A.I. art who are looking to keeping their costs to a minimum. And when I say minimum, yes, you can use my platform absolutely free but the paid option is under $4 a month which is less than a super cheap coffee so even a penny pincher like me felt no qualms about upgrading. β And there ARE plenty of other free A.I. generators, but many of them either limit your usage or make your images publicly available to all. If you want ensure you're the sole owner, with completely unrestricted copyright, then you'll want to check out my course. β When you pick up BC Stack 2024 through my link, you'll get access to my new course AND over 80+ worth of entrepreneurship resources valued at over $5k.
You'll also receive the option to grab another one of my brand, spanking new courses: The Pixel Playbook for an awesome deal at checkout. This is a great course on navigating the confusing frontier of A.I. art safely and without fear of copyright concerns. β If you haven't been successful getting your AI generator to cooperate, there are techniques and tips on how to get the best images, and great practices in general for coming up with creative ideas that you never need to worry about. I also provide examples on how to create unique art using some unique techniques and prompts. β BC Stack sells for $49 - and is coming to an end soon - on June 16th!
β β¨ BONUS - If you buy BC Stack through my link, beyond the bonuses mentioned below, you'll also get two deluxe bonuses. I'll be streamlining the way I offer bonuses in the future to make it simpler so you can check out this page which has more items to choose from. Basically anything worth $27 or less is a regular bonus. A deluxe is for products worth $37. β And beside those extra bonuses, you'll of course receive access to my upcoming, signature course, Artful Affiliate!
If you've been with me for awhile now and love what I make, you'll definitely want to get insider knowledge on how I create the collections I do. I'll be giving you first-hand examples of some of my best-selling collections and showing you step-by-step how you can achieve similar results. β This is the course that will walk you through how I create many of the collections that you've seen. (Both A.I. AND non-AI.) I'll also include real examples for you to follow along and recreate yourself! β I'll also reveal how I come up with ideas, and provide some great insider tips on how I create things QUICKLY as bonuses, and then the extra bonus you'll be receiving if you purchase today which is an amazing little known tool that I rely on to turn out collections lightning fast. This alone is worth all the time and energy you're going to save if you've ever had to manually rename a collection with a bunch of pages you've output on Canva or through your A.I. tools! β In it's final version, this course will land somewhere between $97 and $197. However, you'll get it for free when you pick up BC Stack through my link. Plus you'll receive lifetime access and updates. I'm aiming for an expected launch date of July. β And yes! I know my last course took a little more time than that but now that I've got a couple courses under my belt, it will be much easier for me to get these done now that I've got some systems and setups in place. :) β If you've been curious about how I create things and you're interested in buying BC Stack through me, it's probably a good idea to clear cookies first and then click through and purchase straightaway to make sure you'll get my goodies. (And make sure you don't use a phone or an iPad as those are known to not track links.)
And don't forget! If you were promised my Art with A.I. course as a bonus aeons ago, I'll be sending you a message soon. I would have done it by now but I've been having so many issues with the tech, I don't want to send you something that's not 100% fully functional. Of course if you don't care about it being a little unkempt, please drop me a line and I'll send those details over right away. β As my extra gift to you for taking so long to deliver this course after I promised this to you as a bonus, I'll also be giving you access to my new course The Pixel Playbook as my extra gift to you so make sure you don't purchase this when you check out!
Plus for anyone who buys today, I'm going to also throw in early access to an upcoming lesson in Artful Affiliate which is truly a game changer.
This one teaches you my unique process for how I batch name collections which, by itself, is a worth its weight in gold in and of itself!
If you've ever had to manually rename images in a collection you know what a painstakingly tedious and time consuming process this is. This training alone (and some extra goodies I include such as how to watermark your images) is going to save you hundreds of hours of time over the years. These are all processes that have been self-taught which I have not seen anyone else using. I'll have that lesson available for you after the 17th.
And don't forget, if you get next year's BC Stack, you can book a convo which we can have over email (max 2 emails - I'll probably record a video to cut down the back and forths) or a two hour Voxer session. π β

And I can't believe my eyes, but Squirrely SEO is BACK right now! This is a really great alternative to Wordpress plugins like Yoast and it has a huge taco rating. I'm surprised it's there as it's considered tried and tested and does not need to rely on AppSumo like other newer companies do. β Here are some other newer products that are also being showcased that might be of interest:

Katherine's is back with her newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership but you only have until the 14th to pick this up. β βHeads up! There's always a 24-hour window on the 15th of the month where 2 monthly kits are available (to accommodate global customers) so if you're interested in grabbing two kits for the price of one, sign up to take advantage! β A sneak peek at the upcoming kit for June: the Garden Grows Design Kit. π
β
This month's Craft Room design kit isn't here much longer and it's a treasure trove of inspiration, designed to ignite your imagination and add a touch of handmade charm to your designs. My love of all things crafting including aimlessly wandering the aisles of craft supply stores and convincing myself I have time for one more project is what prompted this theme. I hope it helps spark your creativity! β With all the latest concerns over copyright, usage rights, and outsourcing art from questionable sources, a few members have asked if she makes the graphics in her kits. The answer is YES, she personally illustrates/draws/paints the graphics. β All of her personal hand-drawn or painted illustrations and high-resolution elements can be used to create PLR, digital products, physical products, and TEMPLATES (to name a few) which is MUCH MORE than any typical commercial use license.
Along with the individual elements, she's also included a few different types of graphics to help you create scenes. β These design kits are only available for one month inside the membership so you have until the 14th to pick these up. Katherine will then be offering them for sale at the current regular price of $97. β You'll automatically receive $482 worth of bonuses that come with MRR rights, meaning you can turn these kits around and not only sell them commercially, but as PLR without restrictions! β MRR or master resell rights means you can sell these items commercially to others who can also sell them commercially. Normally, with PLR, you can sell them to others for personal use only. β This means you can use these products to create your very own PLR. It's also perfect if you've been wanting to get into a bundle but don't have a creative bone in your body and aren't sure what you would be able to offer with PLR rights - now you'll be able to thanks to Katherine's gorgeous resources. β Best of all, you can use these elements without fear of infringing on someone's license, which is much more generous than a standard commercial use license, and use them for to create PLR digital products, physical products, and templates (to name a few) - and yes, even stickers!
Check out everything you get on the sales page. This kit will be available at the discounted price of $27 until tonight - June 14th.

My pal Melanie Dougherty has just changed the name of her membership from Club Pin to Club Pub. β When her membership started a few years ago, it was focused on Pinterest Pins, but her club has evolved so much that Mel decided it needed a name change to suit where she's going in her business. β Previously, members received access to two months of content (the current one and the previous month's) but from now on, you'll receive access to ALL her content! That is HUGE as this means it won't go poof after a couple of months. You'll be getting access to everything she's ever created plus a growing library of video training on how to use the content. There's so much VALUE for everything you get! β If you're worried that her brand new renovation means an increase in price, the good news is she's kept it at $10 FOR NOW. β

This includes those key word gold mines you find when looking for something else. β This also includes how to organize and label all your best seller inspiration photos to not only speed up your product creation process, but to help you take that up-front work you did and use it to create numerous products. β Save time. Up your creation. Win Win. Includes Google sheet and Canva template so you'll have your own organizational system.
This month's Club Pin products were created from just some of the things she found, so it's a great little implementation training. She shows you what she found, how she organized it and then turned it into two different products that you could just run wild with and use to create many others.
This training is ONLY available in her membership PLUS you'll also receive the two created PLR Canva Templates. β Soon this the training will be sold on it's own, but not with the two additional canva products included. Those will be an additional cost.

ENDS SOON: DOUBLE STORE CREDITβ β Creative Fabrica is back with their Big Spring Sale. A massive sale where you can grab 90% off sitewide on millions of fonts & designs! β
Make sure to check out their wildly popular Double Store Credit promo, which is back for a limited time. β If you've held off on picking up their yearly All Access Membership which is currently on sale for the lowest price they've ever offered it ($47/year - 3.99 a month ) and prefer purchasing your graphics outright, this is one of my favorite promotions to stock up on to stretch your dollar even further. β
BONUS UPDATE:β β Check out my bonus page here. My bonuses do not have an expiry. β βUpdate regarding bonusesβ β I've been having a few issues lately around receiving commissions so if you want to ensure that you buy through my links and receive your bonuses, please make sure to make your purchases on a desktop. β Apple does not allow for link tracking and there is a good chance that I will not get credited for the sale. It's also a good policy to click my link and purchase right away because if you decide to do so later, and you're browsing other sites, or checking out other emails, you may accidentally click on someone else's offer unknowingly so they'll get credit for a sale and if you don't know who that person is, they might not have a bonus for you. β For Thrivecart purchases: Make sure you see my name laramai at the bottom of the checkout page under affiliate as shown in the photo below. As there are many templates used in Thrivecart, the field might look different than the photo below but the name will appear somewhere at the very bottom of the page underneath the cart.
β
For Warrior+ purchases: Make sure you see my name "laramai" at the bottom of the checkout page where it says powered by Warrior Plus

I'm a writer/television producer and a wife and mom who loves photography, crystals, and my ever-expanding collection of typewriters. I'm inspired by nature on a daily basis and draw inspiration from my surroundings which trickles down to my creations.

Although I'm an award-winning journalist who has shot stories around the world, nothing gives me more joy than taking photos in my local stomping ground, βThe Rougeβ and turning them into illustrative art. I love sharing stories and images with my community along with free and paid resources to help others break the chains of the 9-to-5 hamster wheel to achieve a life they love.

Talk about horrifying. I'm in the middle of tackling all the tech hiccups and I've been in the process of adding lessons so everything will make...
